1000 Islands Family Free Day – Antique Boat Museum, Clayton, NY

Mark your calendars for one of the most beloved free family events in the 1000 Islands! Each year, the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, New York throws open its doors for the 1000 Islands Family Free Day — a full day of fun, discovery, and community spirit right on the banks of the St. Lawrence River.

With free admission all day long, this is the perfect opportunity to explore North America’s premier freshwater boating museum without spending a dime on entry. From thrilling speedboat rides and a crowd-favorite Cardboard Boat Regatta to kids’ crafts, live music, and local food trucks, there’s something for every member of the family to enjoy.

Throughout the day, local organizations set up on-site to share what’s happening in the region all summer long, making Family Free Day as much a community celebration as it is a museum event. And if you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the spectacular Great International Steamboat Flotilla docked at the museum.

Whether you’re a local or visiting the 1000 Islands for the first time, Family Free Day at the Antique Boat Museum is a must-do summer experience that you won’t want to miss.
